This got me too, but I also ended up thinking: 1) Why would Google need Branson's money...or is it just to lease a spaceship and 2) jeepers, maybe we need to pay attention to Spaceship Earth first. There is so much that needs our attention. I'm not saying we should ignore space and the universe, just that there are urgent priorities right here that we need to look at and spend money on. This space-station that they are endlessly working on, what's up with that? It never seems to get beyond looking like three ladders stuck onto each other.
